Those familiar with either instrument will be able to quickly master the Ghijeck. Carved from only the sweetest-smelling apricot wood, the Ghijeck is tuned like a violin and played resting upright on your leg, neck in your left hand, and bow loosely held with your right.While designed for a professional musician, the artisanal craftsmanship and beauty of the Ghijeck will appeal to all art collectors as a beautiful and traditional piece.
